    Got what I expected and don’t regret buying it. If I’m going to be honest I would save up for the series x instead.

    Amazing system for the size. Hits 120 FPS and can upscale to 4K with HDR. So happy with this, I’ll get an X down the line when more games and developers take more advantage of the technical upgrades.

    Need a cheaper Xbox? This is pretty much it. My cousin loves this and he just uses it to play Minecraft here and there. I'm sure he enjoys it since he won't stop talking about it. It's cheaper than the normal Xbox too!

    Dad became a hero for my son when we found this treasure. We've been using it for more than just gaming, too by binging some cool movies. Love the alert tool that Best Buy had to let us know when this became available.

    This product is a good console if you want speed and play good games. I suggest getting the series x if you want high graphics and more storage

    For the price is one of the best console out side, digital only, but if you’re going to play only Game Pass or games that you have in your library, this is your choice

    Couldn't ask for a better system if you on a tight budget like myself. Definitely would've buy storage to add a ton a games. I currently have 3 main games I play buy the storage is almost full.

    Major upgrade from the previous generation. Seamless gaming and great graphics. You can run out of disc space quickly but I knew that going in. I recommend pairing this with the expanded storage (when it goes on sale)

    I'm not a Microsoft fan AT ALL.. My 360 was so unreliable had to send it in for repairs 8 times. So was very reluctant, but this has been a good experience, even with the tiny HD it's got more than enough room for a wealth of games. OS isn't as nice as a PS5 but it's doable, controllers suck because of needing batteries, but are comfortable. I feel like the visuals on the playstation are brighter more defned, xbox seems darker and bluish regardless of the TV settings -- not entirely sure. Perfect game system for a tween/teen and not a $500 investment. A good buy, reliability wise we shall see.

    I got it to play sports games and it plays them well. My only regret is that I’ve been too busy to get a lot of mileage out of the system since buying it.

    Issue with Forza Horizon 4?

    Overall great system. Graphics are crisp and clear, no studders that I've noticed. Only issue I've come across is with Forza Horizon 4. It's happened twice out of the 3 times I've played it since getting the series s. It will freeze for a second, then shut the xbox off. I assume it's something with the game and not the xbox. Overall I'm pleased with it.

    IMO this is as good as the series X since I have both. The difference in loading times is so minute its not even noticeable unless you have them side-by-side to A-B. Great value
